The link with Qualiopi
Like EDUFORM, Certif'Région illustrates the second route to Qualiopi: labelling by a France compétences-recognised body instead of certification by a Cofrac-accredited one. Check the current list before choosing this route.
The process, summarised
- 1.Check that the body covers your region and provider profile.
- 2.Prepare the quality file against the label's framework and pass the labelling audit.
- 3.Maintain the label through the body's planned audit cycle.
FAQ — Certif'Région
+Does the Certif'Région label count as Qualiopi?
Yes, as long as the body appears on the list of recognised labelling bodies published by France compétences: labelling is one of the two official routes to the quality obligation.
+How does it differ from standard Qualiopi certification?
The legal outcome is equivalent; the difference lies in the operator (a regional body rather than a Cofrac-accredited certifier) and possible additional regional requirements.
+Can every provider choose this route?
No: it depends on the scope set by the body (territory, provider types). Outside that scope, the standard route via an accredited certifier applies.
